Merry meet everyone,
So this month is special to us because at the end of this month its samhain. So I thought it would be fun to do some divination posts and different ways to use them. As this month is all about connecting to the other side and honouring our loved ones that have passed between the worlds. So today I thought I would start with scrying because thats a big part of divination. Now when you think about scrying most people go straight to crystal balls that in every movie ever that focused on witches had a crystal ball somewhere in that movie. Anyway that is one of many ways you can scry. I will go through the ones I have written down in my book of shadows to help you understand and also inspire you to use one of these styles this month. Crystal ball or glass ball When using this tool, light a candle in a dark room and gaze into it, images will form in your mind not in the ball that will hopefully answer the questions you ask. For me personally I have calming music in the background to help me focus on the ball. It may take some time because its not an easy tool to use but it is effective. Scrying mirror These are traditionally black and concave. They rest flat on the table with some scryers setting a candle on top of the mirror. While others set a candle on either side to illuminate the mirror without reflection of the flames. Although you will focus on the mirror itself to get the answers you wish. Again the answers will show in your mind more than on the mirror itself. Incense smoke or a flame This can be used if you do not have a ball or mirror handy. Watch the smoke of the incense or the flame of the candle for the symbols or shapes that gives you some clue as to the answer you seek. This is a handy one if your looking for one word answers. Herbs for scrying Herbs that can be burned as incense that will help within scrying are: -Mugworty -Wormwood - Parsley -Sage - Thyme - Rosemary - Frankincense Scrying Meditate to quieten your mind. Say a divination charm and ask a question. Gaze into your scrying tool and let your vision drift so that your minds eye is dominate. Have a note book near by to make notes of the visions you see. Scrying is best performed at night especially during a full moon or a new moon. I hope you do try one of these styles of scrying this month and I do hope you found this helpful. I will see you in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x |
